Terrain, an award-winning environmental quarterly, is always looking for talented candidates to participate in our internship program. We are primarily seeking those with an interest in journalism, but we also need artists and photographers.
The Terrain intern will be part of an experienced editing team. The intern performs various editorial and administrative duties: phone reporting, on-line research, copy-editing, finding art to accompany articles, and assisting with distribution. Each intern is given a project to complete by the end of the editorial cycle, and this could be a side bar, number box, news update, or in some cases, a feature article. The intern also assists the editor and associate publisher with general correspondence: email, faxing, etc., and. Other responsibilities include transcribing phone interviews, entering hand-written edits onto the computer, and fact checking. Time permitting, an intern might be asked to report and write one to two major news stories. The intern writes a final report detailing his/her experience with Terrain.
The ideal candidate will be responsible, computer-savvy with Macs, curious about journalism, reporting, editing and publishing, and interested in environmental issues. The internship is unpaid, but Terrain offers payment for published pieces.
Terrain will select up to three interns per issue. Scheduling is flexible, and interns may work from home and check in periodically. Please fax resume and cover letter to Mary Vance, Attn: Terrain Internship, 510-548-2220 x230 or email them to: mary@ecologycenter.org (subject: “Internship”).
“Terrain’s clean layout, clear writing and sharp editing
have made it the perfect candidate to become a voice for national
environmental awareness... Terrain has become a steady source of inspiration
and information for California activists.”
